Abstract

The highways are paved routes that promote the displacement of passengers, loads, and consequently the development of a region. Occur then that these routes have to present acceptable characteristics of confort and safety to the people who use them daily. Considering the notable accident rates in the local highways, it was decided to evaluate the pavement of the route of Francisco Beltrão (PR) to Ampére (PR) by the PR-483 highway, in order to analyze the severity of the conditions, adherence and geometry of it. The areas chosen for the analysis of quality were based in informations of occurrences done by the Policia Rodoviária Militar (Military highway patrol) of the Pato Branco (PR) station. The evaluation showed that the route under study presents reasonable rate of defects that require some interventions, high variation texture with radius of curvature and superelevation at the established standards, therefore although certain characterization in the pavement, does not present the same problems that may cause the occurrence of critical points.
